Latest Chicago Bears News – May 15, 2015
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I’ve decided to try to resurrect an old favorite of mine, Bear Dawn. It’s the latest Chicago Bears news from around the interwebs. Here’s what you need to know for May 15, 2015:
Bleacher Report looks ahead to some hotly contested Chicago Bears position battles.
ESPN NFL Front Office Insider’s Louis Riddick thinks Eddie Goldman is just what the Bears needed:
"“He’s big and strong, which is important,” Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said of Goldman. “We don’t feel like he’ll get knocked back into our inside linebackers, which is really important. That’s job No. 1 for any of the three guys up front. We feel like he’s strong and is able to get off blocks and make some plays in there, and hopefully we can get some pass rush out of him, too.”"
Bears OLB David Bass threw out the first pitch at the Cubs game on Wednesday night:
